First off, the view of the property was amazing. Being on the 17th floor, I had a spectacular view of Bangkok's skyline and I could enjoy watching the night lights all evening.
However, the most offputting thing about this place would have to be the check-in and exiting/entering the building. Prior to this year, I probably wouldn't have had complaints about the process it took to get the keys/keycard, but it looks like they recently implemented a facial scanner before the elevators because these places aren't meant for AirBnb rentals. Will you get kicked out by reception or questioned? No. But, it was incredibly frustrating for me because I didn't want to leave at certain hours where I was afraid someone wouldn't be available for me to "sneak" in, like an actual resident. The owner mentioned there was someone (not related to any management of the building) in the lobby to help us, but I didn't know what they look like, they probably didn't know what I look like, and if I were to have gone out drinking, the last thing I would want to do is look for such a person.
Anyway, aside from that. 7-11 is super close. I didn't like using taxis or motorcycle transportation, so I mainly walked to the train station, which was like a 10-11 min walk. It wasn't too bad either since it's on a major road, and there are 3 24hr 7-11s along the way.
During the coronavirus pandemic, there was a guard at the entrance taking temperature and providing hand sanitizer, so that was a plus too.
The room itself was pretty nice and simple. A/C's kept room really cool, and having a large fridge was great. I did wish there was a clothes iron or actual dishes with spoons/forks, but I just dealt with it. (I didn't like drinking my coffee from a bowl.)
If they decide to ever get rid of that facial recognition thing, I'd definitely consider renting here again for that view.
Thank you for the stay.
